Malcolm X says the black people have a right to defend themselves and Martin Luther King Jr. is making it easy for the whites to disregard the black people and their want for equal rights. Martin Luther King Jr. that non-violence makes the white people question their morality. Malcolm X seems to get right up in the interviews face and is on the verge of yelling while Marin Luther King Jr. is quiet and more relaxed.
How many people believed Malcom X's point of view?

Malcolm X was saying that black people need to defend themselves from the white man and not stand down from them. While MLK Jr was saying that we need non violent, but in Malcolm X sees that as giving the the white man a chance to walk all over them. Malcolm X really try's to be powerful and get his point across because he is fed up with the white man but MLK seems to be more relaxed and belives in peace, love, and god.

Malcom X states that black people need to defend themselves and it is their right. Also not to stand down to white men. Martin Luther King on the other hand wants non-violence and not give into the white men, but Malcolm X views it as giving the white man a chance to keep walking all over the black man. Martin Luther and Malcolm X both are speaking for the same rights yet MLK wants it through peace and non violence whereas Malcom X wants power.

Malcom X had a different approach to civil rights than Martin Luther King. Malcom X said that people had the right to defend themselves, different than Martin Luther Kings non violent approach.
